I'd really prefer to just keep that around in a threadlocal. There's
no reason for a client to continue passing a token w/ each call that
the server already knows.
Another reason for this is it makes code a lot clearer. If you're
looking for a keyspace argument, it gets confusing if it suddenly
becomes a token, because if you don't know what the current connection
state is (for whatever reason) or if authentication was previously
done, you might not know what the argument should really be at the
current moment. Yes, this can be solved programmatically, but why
make things more complex than they need to be?
